On Friday Fiona and I were in Dunfermline to meet Martyn Evans, the Chief Executive of the Carnegie UK Trust and Senior Policy Officer Liz Macdonald who is responsible for the Carnegie UK Trust’s ‘knowledge and culture’ theme. We talked at length about the Carnegie UK Trust’s role in setting up the Voluntary Arts Network, the development of the Trust’s new themes (people and places, knowledge and culture, enterprise and society) and areas in which we might collaborate in the future. It was a very energising discussion and Martyn and Liz were extremely interested in the work of Voluntary Arts and the potential of the voluntary arts sector.
